10 Destinations for a Dream Wedding

Whether you're hoping to say your "I do's" on a faraway island or looking to get married among one of the world's most historic landmarks, the wedding of your dreams is only a boat, train, or plane ride away.

Boracay, Philippines

Boracay, Philippines

The travel time might be a turnoff, but going to the Philippines is worth the trek. Plus, its affordability means you and your wedding guests can easily manage to stay much longer than a typical getaway. The country’s tourism campaign right now is, "It's more fun in the Philippines." With over 7,000 islands to choose from, there are infinite possibilities for a matrimonial landscape or the honeymoon following it. We recommend Boracay. Its main strip is only about a half-mile long, lined with swanky hotels. Celebrate with your guests here, or hire a boat to take you and a smaller wedding party to the secluded Baling Hai Resort in the northern part of the island.The resort has an intimate private beach, perfectly suited for a reception and the festivities following it. After saying, "I do," kick back with your guests on the clear blue waters on a wooden float as the sun goes down, and then head back to shore for a candlelit dinner party under the stars.

Trondheim, Norway

Trondheim, Norway

For those who never want their wedding night to end, head for the Northern Lights. Get hitched and host an endless party, dancing while the sky is still lit in the early morning hours in Norway. Stay at the Rica Nidelven Hotel, where your suite comes with a balcony view overlooking the postcard-ready Marina. Picture saying your vows on top of the Kristiansten Fortress or on the Old Towne Bridge, also known as the Love Bridge, a destination that delivers unique European charm. Gather your guests and head to Tavern på Sverresborg. Originally a merchant's house, it is one of the oldest restaurants where you can enjoy authentic Norwegian dishes. The house chef can serve a traditional three-course dinner, including smoked salmon wrapped in asparagus and the most succulent reindeer you've ever devoured. After the festivities, head two hours north to Oppdal for some once-in-a-lifetime adventures, including hiking to a glacier and skiing the majestic mountains. Settle in at the Skifer Hotel, and end the evening cuddling with your new hubby by the fire with a fur blanket.
